Installation

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Do not reuse the original stop lamp switch. The switch can only be adjusted once. That is during initial installation of the switch. If the switch is not adjusted properly or has been removed for some service, a new switch must be installed and adjusted.





1. Obtain a NEW stop lamp switch. The adjustment lever on the NEW switch should be at a 45° angle from the wiring connector. If the adjustment lever is parallel with the wiring connector, the switch has been pre-set and must be scrapped. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESET (OR RE-ADJUST) THE STOP LAMP SWITCH.




2. Mount and adjust the NEW brake lamp switch (2) using the following steps:
a. Install the switch in its bracket by aligning the index tab on the switch with the notch in the brake pedal bracket (1).
b. When the switch body is fully seated in its bracket, rotate the switch clockwise approximately 30° to lock the switch into place.
c. With the brake pedal in the fully released position, move the adjustment lever on the brake lamp switch from the 45° angled non-adjusted position, clockwise as shown, until it is parallel with the wiring connector. The brake lamp switch is now properly adjusted to the vehicle.




3. Connect the wiring harness connector (4) to the switch (3).
4. If equipped, install the silencer pad below the steering column.
5. Reconnect the battery negative terminal.
6. Check the stop lamps to verify they are operating properly and not staying on when the pedal is in the released position.
7. Road test the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the brakes (including ABS) and speed control (if equipped).
